Ridiculous.
We had a couple people get lost going down Cedar Creek a couple weeks ago, and walked out to the road. Could be an over-reaction to a similar situation in your area.

Bob, did you ever hear how they managed to get lost? I figured the Mickster had his ear to the paddling community and might know but he hadn't heard anything.
I believe they were put up on the whole length of the river for 911 reports to better locate the caller for emergencies.
I really think some of the folks Mick's drops off on the Wading must think their in deepest darkest Congo.From Hawkins Bridge to Beaver branch there are sand roads or blacktop roads paralleling the river less then a mile away and in most places much closer. I guess though it is easier to deface the river then for someone to walk out for help. Looks like a yak trip with a hammer and some brown paint is in order.
Nothing a can of brown paint and maybe a claw hammer won't fix.
The same markers are on the Oswego river going into harrisville. Also someone built a nice stick hut across from the one large sandy hill and landing area. Where the rope swing used to be.
